- Johnny Peters - Reporter: And here despite the fire, which rages all around us, everything has been pushed into the background except for the two lives which are at stake. A mother and her baby. Mrs. Alvarez, a farm worker's wife, had followed her husband up to the fire area, when it was discovered that she needed a cesarean operation to deliver her child. There seemed little hope for Mrs. Alvarez until another farm worker here laid claim to being a doctor. Everybody is wondering who the mysterious medical man can be. Where did he come from and how did he happen to be working as a farm worker. There are no answers yet but we'll bring them to you as they develop. Meanwhile the hearts and minds of all of us are focused on that tent where a baby is being born.
- Johnny Peters - Reporter: Hey, how's your wife?
- [pauses as Paco sits down]
- Johnny Peters - Reporter: Hey, listen, I've been in contact with the radio station. They're going to send up a doctor as soon as the road...
- Paco Alvarez: [interrupts him] My wife has a doctor.
- Johnny Peters - Reporter: She has a doctor?
- Paco Alvarez: [nods] He is my friend.
- Johnny Peters - Reporter: You... you mean that
- Paco Alvarez: He's going to save my Maria and the baby. With an operation.
- Johnny Peters - Reporter: An operation? She needs an operation?
- Paco Alvarez: Please. No more.
